Behavioral Health and Dual Diagnosis

These behavioral health program resources are based on state-of-the-art evidence-based models to address key issues in substance abuse, mental health, and dual diagnosis clients.
Special resources address mental health and diagnosis issues for those who are gang involved. They include significant elements of cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) and motivational enhancement therapy (MET), including specific
tools
for motivational interviewing (MI) in each of the workbooks. Cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) promotes re-evaluation of dysfunctional emotions and behaviors to bring about change and reduce vulnerability to key risk factors. Motivational enhancement therapy (MET)
seeks to promote change by making the client aware of problems and consequences of behavior. The motivational interviewing (MI) tools we provide are non-confrontational and gently provoke awareness. We can work with you to
customize a mental health or dual diagnosis resource using cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) and motivational enhancement therapy (MET)
techniques specifically
to the needs of your facility or community
program.

Within the framework of a comprehensive mental health program, we address such
DSM-IV diagnoses and issues as chemical dependency, conduct disorder, oppositional defiant disorder, anxiety, and
depression.

Resources are tailored by age and gender. Programming materials are available for adult males, adult females,
juvenile males, and juvenile females. These resources have been selected for use by multiple state systems
and more than 40 Federal Bureau of Prisons facilities, as well New York City jails.

Selection of tools useful at different stages of mental health programs and recovery. Designed for use with New Freedom programs but compatible with Twelve Step programs.
